In our organization, we have a decent number of folders organizing a shared workspace (1 per team plus additional folders for shared projects). We’ve found it is really easy to accidentally move one of the folders into another folder and have to open each folder to find the “missing” folder. If we could lock down the order/hierarchy of folders so only certain users can move these folders around, it would be a win.
If I had 10,000 votes, I would use all of them for this fix. Whether one has 20 or 20,000 users, humans will make a mistake. So, there are people that accidentally drag and drop a Board under a different Folder. Or they accidentally move a Folder somewhere else down the pane. And there is no notification of such a move has been made (E.g. Activity Log, or notify the Admins). Leading to a poor customer experience.
We have requested this through our account team several times, but are only told that it is under consideration.
@justinschenck I can share that Monday.com was able to devote development resource on fixing this issue. They built a new permission from my request that allows an Admin to restrict the ability of users/Members to reorder Workspace left navigation content.
Note, it is my understanding that this exists only for Enterprise customers. But, it is not just this instance, I believe it is due to Permissions" being available only at the Enterprise level.
If you are an Enterprise customer, I would suggest contacting your support person for your account to learn how to specifically do this.
@ScottC Thanks for following up! I missed this update in the release updates, but I see the option now in the workspace permissions. I’ll get this setup for departments that are interested!

@justinschenck do you get release updates from your team? If so, I’d be interested to see or understand what you receive. I’m looking for that kind of material for our team.
@ScottC I just try to check here periodically: What's New - monday.com Product Updates
Sometimes our internal teams will cross share cool stuff they found recently too. I just try to make myself known as someone who likes to talk about new features and people usually find me
